A few nice home based business images I found:
Larrabee's Point (VT) Warehouse (1823)
Image by origamidon
State Route 74, Shoreham, Vermont USA • The warehouse is owned by Mahlon and Gena Teachout who operate the "Carillon" tour boat around the southern end of Lake Champlain. The building, [now called Teachout's Lakeshore Store], along with a wharf, was constructed in 1823. – From steve-world.com, a fine link with some historical images, c.1860.
Shoreham is primarily an agricultural community of orchards, dairy and niche farms, and numerous commercial endeavors, as well as an increasing number of smaller home-based businesses. Shoreham is also home to the “Fort Ti” Ferry, one of oldest ferries in the US, in continuous operation between Shoreham and Ticonderoga, N.Y., since 1788. – From the Town's website.
From rootsweb, here's some background on John LARABEE came from New London county, Conn., in 1783, and settled on the farm now owned by Myron PLATT. He was a well-educated man, and a surveyor. His son, John S. LARABEE, came from Pownal, Vt., in 1783, at the age of nineteen years, and lived four years with his father, after which he cleared a place on Larabee's Point, then called Rowley's Point, where, with the exception of six years passed in Middlebury as clerk of the County Court, he remained the rest of his life. He established the first ferry at Larabee's Point, under legislative grant, and managed it during his life. He held at different times the office of town representative, clerk of the County Court six years, judge of probate and of the County Court. He died on November 28, 1847, aged eighty-two years.

You are invited to stay and browse through my stream. Here's a quick guide to my little corner of Flickr:
Automobile Photographs: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)
Central Illinois (except Springfield): Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "countryside") photographs are grouped by county.
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.
The Illinois State Fair: My collection of photographs of the Illinois State Fair. The fair offers something for everyone. Grab a corn dog and lemon shake-up, and come take a look!
Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:
Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.
Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.
